July 12, 20178 yr Author 19. Raining Men (feat. Nicki Minaj) QsoYEmh9KzU Average: 4.83 I'm a 2 times 5: Jonjo & Adam (7.5) So good bye: Davidson (2) Loud single 'Raining Men' wins the accolade of being Rihanna's floppiest flop :mansoncheer: 'Raining Men' was the third single (somehow) from Loud and peaked at #142 in the UK and #11 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100. In fairness this was only sent to radio in the US and didn't get a video but considering it's such a big name collaboration you would've expected it to better, especially in the US where Nicki's album had recently opened with 375k :lol: Buzzjack got it right tbh, it's absolute MESS and not even in a good way :lol: 18-16 also coming tonight!
July 12, 20178 yr Raining Men is really dreadful... I think the word 'mess' does describe it best, Andrew!! :lol: At least they got it right with Fly which is probably in my top 10 of both artist's songs :wub: I feel like BBHMM or Kiss It Better will win, hopefully the latter as I went off the former after the video was released tbh :/

July 12, 20178 yr Author 18. Right Now (feat. David Guetta) tYmmJkNybtk Average: 5.17 Turn It Up: HarryEzra (9) I don't need you: Cremey, Burbe & Ryan (-1) Ngl I do bop to this, even if Jade sums it up perfectly with it's 'tumble dryer production' :lol: I feel like this was meant to be the 'Where Have You Been' type single helping up the album after Pour It Up underperformed in Europe and only did okay in America but it just never really took off, strange as even with it's genericness I'm sure it would've done better than Loveeeeee song at least :lol: 'Right Now' showed promise initially, charting at #36 the week of Unapologetic but on release as a single only recharted at #97.
July 12, 20178 yr Loveeee Song above Right Now, really? Rightly so. Both tracks out so far are some of her weakest.
July 12, 20178 yr Yeah 'Loveeeeeee Song' is infinitely better than 'Right Now'! The fact she even put that on an album, let alone released it as a single... 'Raining Men' is pretty hideous too. I was never a fan of 'Fly' either, I really hope they do another collaboration at some point that's actually good! :')
July 12, 20178 yr Author 17. Towards The Sun hdO9cc7WOyE Average: 5.26 Kings and Queens: Riser (8.5) Burn It: blacksquare (1) 'Towards The Sun' was released as part of the Home soundtrack where Rih plays Tip Tucci, has anyone actually seen the film :kink: I do enjoy the song but it pales in comparison to the others in this rate, not surprised by it's position really! 'Towards The Sun' peaked at #76 in the UK and missed the US Hot 100, being released as FFS was reaching it's peak and just before BBHMM probably didn't help it. One more tonight!
July 12, 20178 yr Author 16. Loveeeeeee Song (feat. Future) eVhp93olnjY Average: 5.52 Ain't nothing wrong with it: Atonement (10) No love and affection: HausofSZA (0) 'Loveeeeeee Song' was released exclusive to UK Urban radio in April 2013 following Pour It Up. It missed the top 200 but it did chart at #17 on the R&B chart when Unapologetic was released, and due to strong streaming it got to #55 on the US Hot 100. Tbh I actually hated this song until not long ago but something has made me do a massive turn around on it :o I love Future's dreamy vocals on this and the slickness of it, it would've fitted in well on ANTI I think!
July 12, 20178 yr 'Raining Men' is underappreciated. It's trash, but good trash!! :( 'Towards The Sun' is nice enough for a soundtrack single. But 'As Real As You And Me' >>>>>>>. Everything else that's been deservedly low imo. Oh and... WHY IS 'WHAT NOW' SO HIGH?? :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :kink:
July 13, 20177 yr WHY IS 'WHAT NOW' SO HIGH?? :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :kink: Hahaha. Seriously though, why is it? :')
July 13, 20177 yr Who hurt y'all? 'Loveeeeeee Song' is such a dreamy, sad song. Some of the lyrics :snif:. ''Whoever turned you cold? You need to let 'em know''. Have y'all never been hurt or are y'all just cold ass mofos? I'm leaning towards the latter tbh. Future is pouring his heart out, not singing about money and hoes and y'all just ungrateful. Poor Rih bearing her soul on this track too; ''Why window shop when you own this?'' while getting NOTHING in return from BJ. And then when they get into harmony for the last chorus Rihs vocals leave me absolutely FLOORED as if she is using her last breath before she is taken off life support. It's the perfect song to get high to and reflect on your sad ass life. Luckily Pitchfork knows what's up and ranked it 11th among 52 of her singles.
